Early reviews regarding Car of Tomorrow

NASCAR announced that it will use the Car of Tomorrow exclusively in 2008, a year ahead of schedule to introduce the new stock car fully in the Nextel Cup Series.
The early reviews are in favor of the decision. However, those comments are coming from team owners and presidents, who have been maintaining two different cars, the old Cup cars and the Cars of Tomorrow, for races this year.
“From a cost and operations perspective, the move to the Car of Tomorrow in 2008 will benefit all the teams," said Roger Penske, who owns a two-car Dodge team for drivers Ryan Newman and Kurt Busch. "Initially, NASCAR took a conservative approach to the implementation of the Car of Tomorrow, but I think that one type of car in 2008 will be more efficient for team operations and should provide good, competitive racing for the fans.”
J.D. Gibbs, president of the three-car, Chevrolet powered Joe Gibbs Racing team, said it has been "very difficult for teams to run both the Car of Tomorrow and the current car simultaneously."
“Across the board, most everyone’s feeling in the sport is that we’ve come out of the box and have had some good experiences with it, so let’s just implement it full-time in 2008," said Gibbs, who manages the teams for drivers Tony Stewart, Denny Hamlin and J.J. Yeley. "We’re on board with that, and for us, it makes a lot of sense.
“Give NASCAR credit. We trust them to make good decisions. For the 16 years that we’ve been in the sport, we’ve seen amazing growth. A lot of that credit is due to NASCAR and the way they manage the sport and handle it. If we have problems or issues, we can go to them and address it the right way and they’ll listen. The encouraging thing for us with this project is that we’ve gone through a huge transformation within our industry and to be able to come out of it and advance the Car of Tomorrow’s timetable – that should make everyone feel good, because it means we’re going in the right direction.”
Let's see if the drivers are as enthusiastic about the decision as the owners are.
